Last Friday we got our first look at some of the new fashions that will be made available when the new clothing line Britney for Candie’s: The Limited Edition Collection goes on sale this Fall. On Saturday we got a peek at the first promo photos to be released for the campaign. Today we learn that the official Candie’s site has been updated for the Britney for Candie’s line and we get to check out a few of the full-size promo posters from the ad campaign:

She looks amazing in this pic! While I still question the verity of whether or not this line was actually designed by Britney Spears, I think all the looks are very “Britney” and do look great on her. After the jump, check out two more promo photos and a video from the campaign photoshoot …

Courtney Love and her new incarnation of her band Hole performed a show at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC this week that reportedly went on for over 3 hours … and according to the review by the Washington Post, pretty much everyone in attendance felt the show was 3+ hours too long. Here are some deets from this debacle of a Hole concert:

“You get the Bruce Springsteen set, sorry.” Courtney Love muttered those words at some point during Hole’s show Sunday night at the 9:30 club. It’s hard to remember exactly when. Time seemed to stand still for so much of the evening. If she meant that we were in for a nearly three-hour concert, then yes, her statement was true. If she meant that we would experience a well-oiled rock-and-roll machine and everybody would leave feeling satisfied they got their money’s worth … let’s come back to that one. It’s safe to say the people yelling “Bull[expletive]! This is bull[expletive]!” didn’t feel like their $45 was well spent. There were more than a handful of patrons shouting and cursing at the endlessly controversial, occasionally coherent 45-year-old rock trainwreck. Many more simply headed for the exits. Three-quarters-filled at the start, the club was no more than a quarter packed by the excruciating end. Make no mistake – this was an astonishingly awful performance that had few moments of redeeming musical value. Song titles, lyrics, guitar chords – Love remembered only some of them, and infrequently. Then again, what was really the best-case musical scenario? A competent recreation of songs more than a decade old, played by Love and her latest hired hands? Is that what people wanted to see – Courtney karaoke versions of ’90s MTV buzz clips? Maybe. But probably not. Perhaps a bit more professionalism would have been nice but in 2010 you pay your $45 hoping for the Courtney Love Experience. And Sunday night was an experience like no other. She took the stage nearly an hour past the advertised 9:30 start time, smoking a cigarette, rambling for a minute about how she was late because she had just been hanging out with a senator friend. (Leave your best guesses in the comments.) She also introduced an assistant, Lisa, who was on stage for the entire show filming Love on an iPhone. Not on the side of the stage. Not filming a few songs. The entire show, on stage, often directly in front of Love. Love, naturally, played to the camera more than her fans. She preened, she constantly sang in its direction, she looked like she was trying to seduce it. Love and Lisa huddled before, during and after songs, conferring about what angles to shoot, like they were Bogdanovich and Kovacs. When one fan near the front complained that Lisa was being obstructive Love quickly snapped, “[Expletive] you, she’s with me.” She introduced “Someone Else’s Bed” as a “deeply emotional song” and spent the first 30 seconds of it instructing Lisa where to situate herself to get the best angle of Love giving it her faux-heartfelt best. The between song chatter was more than just chatter. Ten minutes without playing a song? Sure, let’s do that a few times. She talked about her courting style (“I never chase”), being anorexic and bulimic, quizzed fans on the meaning of her late husband Kurt Cobain’s lyrics, twice mentioned how The Washington Post hated her new album “Nobody’s Daughter,” and name-dropped a “TMZ” episode’s worth of celebrities, from Trent Reznor to Diablo Cody to George Clooney, even Douglas Fairbanks. She asked what the lamest Hole song was and cursed at people when they gave the wrong answer. When Love got around to singing, her voice sounded as if something died in her throat earlier in the day. Love has a blood-curdling howl, by far her most effective asset as a performer. She just should have used it more on Sunday. During the choruses of “Miss World” and “Violet” – two of her best and most popular songs – she turned the microphone to the crowd and didn’t even bother singing. Other times she skipped lines in order to cough, or take a sip of water or just … not sing. Of the nearly 30 songs (or song fragments), not even a handful were completed without some minor disaster … “This is a really weird show,” Love said in perhaps the understatement of the night a bit earlier. “I can’t tell if it’s really terrible.” Courtney, let me tell you something. In just the past year and a half, I’ve been to about 400 shows. I’ve seen some really terrible ones. And this was really the most terrible. No question. But the vast majority of those 400 shows, I went there, I saw it, and almost immediately forgot I was there. I’ll never forget this night with Courtney Love, no matter how much I may want to. And isn’t that really what she’s always wanted?

I was able to see Hole perform live at the start of this tour back in April and at the time, I was pissed that the show as too short (it clocked in at about 45 mins.) It sounds like I got lucky. If you are interested, you can read the full Washington Post review HERE … it goes into great detail about how painful this concert was to endure. I’m telling you, I would’ve been among the folks who left early. I had hoped that C. Love might be ready to make a serious go of her music career again but, alas, it seems that she is gone to us forever. I’m sure she’ll piddle her way thru more live performances but it won’t last … hopefully. The woman is just a wreck … I think she needs a long vacation … better yet, she needs permanent retirement. Unfortch from her p.o.v. she prolly thinks she’s being “rock and roll” when in fact she’s only finding new ways to embarrass herself for public entertainment. Sad.

Kylie Minogue, whose new album Aphrodite will be released here in the US next week, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the UK magazine Attitude. This new issue is the mag’s Camp Issue so obviously they had to put the queen of camp Kylie Minogue on the cover. In her coverstory interview, Kylie reveals some of the regrets she has about her last album X:

KYLIE MINOGUE regrets not pushing record company bosses to allow songs about her cancer battle on her last album, X – because she poured her heart and soul into the emotional tracks. The Aussie superstar was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 and underwent intensive chemotherapy treatment, which caused her to lose her hair. As soon as it grew back, Minogue headed into the studio and spent “insane, emotional” sessions recording with producer pal Biff Stannard. But label bosses rejected the personal tracks for inclusion on her 2007 album X – and Minogue admits she’ll always regret not convincing them to change their minds. She tells Britain’s Attitude magazine, “As soon as I could get back in the studio, I went with hair not a centimetre long, I ran in there with Biff and we did five days of insane, emotional… the two of us will never forget it. I’d written songs about my experience, my illness, and they didn’t make the album, I even don’t know why. If they just weren’t good enough songs, or the record company didn’t think they were appropriate, I don’t know. So there’s a little regret about that.”

Personally, I love X … there are so many great, upbeat tracks on that album … I have no complaints. But, I can absolutely see where Kylie is coming from. I’m sure writing about her cancer battle was very cathartic. It’s a shame that none of that music made it on the album. I’m certain her record label was adamant about her not releasing a “cancer album” but still … after all of Kylie‘s successes, they could’ve let her make the album she truly wanted to make. She is such a survivor … and she’s always got a smile on her face. I just love her … and I can’t wait to see the photos from this Attitude photospread.

On Sunday we got our first look at Victoria Beckham‘s new hair weave which she debuted upon arrival in Cannes, France where the posh one made a stop-over on her way to meet up with her hubby David Beckham in Nice, France. As you may know, the English soccer team was eliminated from the 2010 World Cup after they were defeated by Germany 4-1 over the weekend. Since there is no reason for Becks to remain in South Africa for the rest of the World Cup, he packed up his shizz (tucked his tail firmly between his legs) and made his way to Nice to meet up with his family:

Poor Becks … this year’s World Cup hasn’t really been the best experience for him. Not only did he get injured and unable to play but he couldn’t even revel in his team’s successes … at all. Team England was criticized at every turn … and then to be defeated so soundly by Germany, well, I bet he’s looking forward to putting the 2010 World Cup behind him so he can relax with his family in the South of France. This was Becks‘s last World Cup ever … not the best way to end his World Cup career but … well, at least he still has untold fame and fortune … so we can’t feel too bad for the guy. Hello, he is rockin’ a pretty swank backpack and scarf combo from Burberry! Rest up Becks, we’ll be expecting you back here in LA for the upcoming LA Galaxy soccer season. There is still a chance for soccer glory … YOU CAN DO IT!

Yesterday we got to see a few promo photos from the upcoming first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I mentioned that Warner Bros. would be releasing a new video trailer for the film last night. Today, we get our first look at the new trailer (the second after the first teaser trailer was released last December) for Deathly Hallows … here are a few screencaps:

The end is almost near for the “Harry Potter” movies as the trailer for the final installment of the series has hit the web. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” will not only mark as the end of a saga, but will also bring an end to the long-awaited final confrontation between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. In a scene from the trailer, The Dark Lord, played by , grabs the face of Harry and quietly asks, “Why do you live?” Harry proudly replies, “Because I have something worth living for.” Soon after, the two opposites battle it out in an intense wand fight and Voldemort offers the final words of the trailer: “Only I can live forever.” The film will be released in two parts, with the first installment slated for a November 19 release. Part two will arrive in theaters July 15, 2011.

The end is nearly nigh, y’all — after the jump, check out the trailer and see how it will all end in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows …

Yesterday we learned that Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil was arrested in Las Vegas, NV on charges of drunk driving (for the third time … first back in 1984 which resulted in the death of a bandmate, then in 2007 … but that arrest was purged from his record because of a savvy plea bargain deal and then early Monday morning) but it turns out that he wasn’t the only one who got popped for DUI this week. The Gary & Dino Show reports that Amy Locane (who starred in the first season of the original Melrose Place back in the 1990′s) was also arrested for drunk driving … but in her case, she is accused of killing someone due to her intoxicated state!

Authorities say actress Amy Locane-Bovenizer, charged in a fatal drunk-driving crash that killed a Montgomery woman Sunday night, was also involved in minor hit-and-run collision in Princeton just prior. Around 9 p.m., the former “Melrose Place” actress was driving a 2007 Chevy Tahoe north on Cherry Hill Road in Montgomery when she struck the passenger side of a 2010 Mercury Milan as it was turning into a driveway, court papers said. Helene Seeman was pronounced dead the scene. Fred Seeman, who was driving, was flown to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where he is listed in critical condition this afternoon. Earlier, Locane-Bovenizer crashed into another car as she was driving in Princeton, Somerset County Acting Prosecutor A. Peter DeMarco, Jr. said in a statement. Locane-Bovenizer, 38, whose films include “Airheads” and “Crybaby,” rear-ended a car at an intersection in Princeton several miles from the second crash, DeMarco said. When the driver of the other car tried to phone police, Locane-Bovenizer got back in her SUV and drove off, the prosecutor said. The other driver followed her, telling police she was “swerving and knocking down several mailboxes.” Later Sunday evening, after the fatal crash, the actress admitted to police that she had consumed several glasses of wine prior to driving, according to court papers. She is charged with second-degree vehicular homicide and third-degree assault by auto.
Officers allegedly smelled alcohol and reported the actress’ eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and her speech was slurred. She was arrested and transferred to University Medical Center in Princeton, where her blood was tested. The actress was in tears as she arrived in Superior Court in Somerville this afternoon, where she was arraigned before Superior Court Judge Robert Reed. Bail was set today at $50,000, cash or bond. If convicted, the woman would face five to 10 years in state prison. She would have to serve 85 percent of the term without parole.

UNBELIEVABLE! Not only was this idiot involved in two separate incidents but her reckless and ILLEGAL actions resulted in a death! This is exactly the worst case scenario … the actions of a moronic drunk driver results in the death of an innocent driver … it’s absolutely disgusting! Should Amy Locane be found guilty of her crimes, she should deffo be thrown in jail. Drunk Driving is such a senseless crime … when it results in death, IMHO it is tantamount to murder. I’m just … wow.

Congratulations are in order for Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green … because those sneaky little devils went and got married … last week! As you may recall, there were rumors that the couple were engaged back in January but they quickly shot down those reports … but just a couple of weeks ago, they finally admitted that YES they were engaged to be wed. Clearly they were in no mood for a long engagement because Star magazine was the first to report that Megan and Brian eloped to Hawaii and secretly got married last week. They got hitched for real, y’all!

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green tied the knot late last week in Hawaii, a source tells Star exclusively! “They had a fairly large wedding, but there were clearly more security people than guests!” the insider tells Star. “They had so many security people that they had to call in local security because the hotel security alone wouldn’t do. It was very hush hush. Everyone was sworn to secrecy.” The location of the wedding — which took place Thursday or Friday — was the Four Seasons Hualalai at Historic Ka’upulehu on the big island of Hawaii. The hotel has many amenities like a golf course and a spa. The hotel is known for throwing big, A-list weddings. “The place is perfect for a Hollywood wedding,” says the source. “It’s very romantic and scenic. Megan and Brian had already been there for a few days. It seemed like a spur of the moment thing. I don’t think it had been planned long.” And the couple has been in no rush to leave. “Megan and Brian are still there at the hotel, relaxing,” says the source. “They’re now celebrating their honeymoon” … Megan and Brian have been dating since 2004. They got engaged in 2007 then broke it off in Feb. 2009. Shortly thereafter they rekindled their relationship. Their reps confirmed that they got engaged again on June 1.

Here is a photo of the couple in Hawaii showing off their new wedding rings:

TMZ reports that only only a half-dozen people attended the wedding so it’s unclear if it was “large wedding” as Star claims or a tiny one as TMZ claims … we just know they got hitched! TMZ also has photos of the couple as they honeymooned together in Hawaii this weekend. Check out a couple photos after the jump …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 2) may have wrapped earlier this month but the promo machine for the release of part 1 of the film is just about to get underway. Here is our first look at a few new promo photos from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 1) which is due to hit theaters at the end of this year:

The first full trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is yet to hit the web until June 28 at 4 P.M. PST but some shots from the video have been available for sneak peek. USA Today has got its hand on several photos from the upcoming trailer and they reveal that the video will give preview to some of the crucial moments. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort’s intense meeting is highlighted in two images. One of them captures their close-up looks, while the other one is taken from a long range and sees the scene set in Hogwarts courtyard. In another photo, Harry is featured alongside Hagrid while the young wizard is seen lying in the woods in another picture. Other characters, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Death Eaters, are also given spotlights in some other images. The rest of the photos, meanwhile, manage to give a look at a blind dragon in Gringotts Bank and fiery explosions around Hogwarts castle. In this last of “Harry Potter” film franchise, Harry Potter and his two best friends will leave Hogwarts behind and set out to find and destroy the Horcruxes – the secret to Voldemort’s power and immortality. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are all returning to reprise their roles as the three main characters. Directed by David Yates, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is split into two parts, which both will get 3-D treatment. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” is due for November 19 release in both U.S. and U.K., whereas “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II” is slated to be premiered on July 15, 2011.

As you may recall, we got to see the first trailer for Deathly Hallows last December but that one was really just a teaser. The first real movie trailer will be released later today and we will then get to see these promo photos in action. I am so excited for the release of this film but we still have many months to wait … so … yeah, I can’t get too excited. Even still, I am anxious to see the trailer. It shant be long now.

Last week we learned the happy news that longtime lovebirds Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom got themselves engaged to be wed and today we get to see photos of the bride-to-be showing off her new engagement bling as she ran some errands with her mom over the weekend … check it out:

She has just got engaged to one of Hollywood’s hottest young actors. So it is no wonder Miranda Kerr was determined to show off her diamond sparkler as she visited churches in Los Angeles with her mother ahead of her wedding to Orlando Bloom. The 27-year-old lingerie model continuously flashed her new accessory as she arrived at a church with mother Therese and dog Frankie. Wearing a colourful maxi dress under a denim jacket, Miranda made sure she inspected all angles of the place of worship – prompting rumours it could be where she and Orlando choose to wed. The couple are both practising Buddhists, but may be planning to wed in a church service for their parents. Bloom was brought up as Church of England, but turned to Buddhism in his Twenties, while Kerr started practising the religion when she turned 20. She told Rolling Stone magazine last year that Buddhism has brought them closer together: ‘We share the same outlook. It brings us closer and closer together.’ The pair, who quietly started dating in 2007, confirmed their engagement earlier this month.

Rockin’ the ring, scopin’ out churches … it looks like Miranda and Orlando are really ready to tie the knot. I wouldn’t be surprised if they said their I Dos by year’s end. Ugh … they’re just so perfect for one another, couldn’t you just puke on your shoes?
